Blackpeoplemeet site has been useless from the time I joined. They have charged my credit card $16.95 each month for something I don't use. They want to charge extra for something call boost I guess to have greater use. The only thing I want is to cancel and I don't see where on this site to do that.

No one to talk to on the phone all communications by emails only. They do not give refunds if you are unhappy with their service and charges your credit card for renewal when you request no renewal. There is no way to completely remove your card information from there website. Have to didpute with my bank. Would not recommend to anyone.

Fake Profiles
January 2, 2021

This site runs and promotes fake profiles. If I block a profile it just comes back up and able to still communicate. Which is a security and safety issue. Women should be able to block harassers but this site just regurgitates a profile every 30 days or so. You will also know fake profiles are sending fake messages as their verbiage is all the same. Shame on you peoplemedia.

Not properly monitored..
December 26, 2020

I am a woman looking for a certain type of man. I see a lot of white men on this site along with men living far away from where I live. This site is becoming filtrated with gay people! Its littered with unattractive men. I met one man out, and he was not looking like his profile. The cat fishing is real! I will not pay for another three months of this again. The same men over and over.

I Was Better Than This
December 25, 2020

Same Men over & over they kept telling me that i was the only one with this problem. I asked them why if i blocked 50 men the same 50 men kept reappearing. I would get 28 messages they would only maybe let me see maybe 12. And all of a sudden the other messages would disapear. There where even women showing on my searches and posting likes. Im confused. Everyday no matter changing the state or zip code. It would be back to the same men from 3 weeks ago. And one time i changed the settings and only 5 men popped up really, I couldnt believe it. Even if i change it to whos on line... they would be from way out of town somewhere.and same of the same men again and then even out of all of that. It may only 20 men on line and its 1000's on here. They kept showing me old ugly men, and the men that i did like or respond to me my messages where disappearing. They were blocking them from reaching me. Everytime i called them it was the same thing. Your settings appear to be ok. But there not ok. Its the same men im looking at for 3 weeks. And the men are probably thinking that im looking at them all the time. But im not the sight is not generating as it should. Something is wrong. The men on here are married then you get hurt. Especially when you a true Queen looking for her King. Any woman that thinks her husband is cheating... you will him on here, trust & believe

Deserves no star
December 24, 2020

Unfortunately many scam artists from other parts of the world with thick African accent telling stories of richness then suddenly sold land in Denmark to Dubai person who paid in diamonds to tune of 7.5 million then was heOf at the airport with the diamonds on flight to the USA and will need lawyer and need 9500 dollars to be sent to a Texas account which will be sent to an Arab Lawyer in Dubai to represent him and you will be Cosignatory to the account until the money is cleared, Fake affidavit with account was sent. Theses look real., also fake travel itinerary. The scam deepens when other fake accounts with over 20 million dollars in BofA in the states was sent to prove how wealthy he is. Later on he moved in for the big one through the fake Imperial Bank manager alias P Jackson instructing to open Commercial account in tune if $*******to unfroze the 7.5 Million dollars. A lot of things did not add up and he was confronted with this. This is a big schemes with lawyers, notaries, children, Fake disabled people, many telephone untraceable numbers and fake business in Ohio. Luckily this scam was found out in time and the authorities were notified. Be wary of De B. Please be careful. Have a monitoring company if you go on these sites to monitor for any fraudulent transactions towards your name.

2 years ago got scammed Big Time... My fault. Client name (supposedly) Douglas Mcarthur Goodgridge. Originally from Barbados... so he said. Scammed ( Or Talked me out of $2000. 00) 3 meets face to face. First meeting I believe I was drugged. Woke up with injured ear and toe with NO RECALL.He kept asking me if I had a headache? If I could post his picture I would. He should be criminally charged. DO NOT USE THIS SITE!

I joined because of a discounted service. I cancelled the service because it was no good. I was then charged 5 times the amount for the next cycle, AFTER CANCELLING! Do not join this trash site! They will charge you after you quit with outrageous charges and refuse to allow you to cancel. I have been on the phone with my bank disputing the charges over and over again. This is owned by a Nigerian scammer! Do not join!

No class at this site
December 5, 2020

No good guys on the site really. They are ugly as sin too. I found my current boyfriend on this site. But, he lives in a different state.He was a sigh of relief from
The collection of cheapskates and toads on the site.The site sends out fake flirts and even if you reject a member they still let them come to your page. It's a ridiculous website.

So I used BPM off and on in the past when I was on the dating scene. I met a few young ladies and made lasting friendships and eventually found the lady I'd end up marrying who's been an absolute gift in my life.
There are definitely a LOT of scammers and pretenders on there. Be careful!
And just like you want to meet the actual person you're communicating with, so do they, use a real and recent photo

Same faces from a decade ago. They don't have a feature where you can completely turn off your profile if you leave to stop getting messages. People still think you're a member! What if you get married? Someone will see your let profile, thinking you're out there looking, and let your spouse know. Also I joined 10 years ago, and came back, and I'm seeing the same faces, with the same photos, meaning these people aren't even there anymore. I had 901 messages. Of which, 894 of them are just likes and flirts. I think it's a ploy. You see all these messages and you get excited, so you pay for a membership, only to realize that they are nothing more than flirts and picture likes. On the plus side, I didn't have a problem with my credit card at all.

Don't waste your money
October 18, 2020

I have subscribed to BPM twice over a two year period for six month time frames. I spent most of that time browsing the profiles of the same men over and over. I also found that most often even if I was interested in a person, they were non paid members who cannot respond to messages. For that reason I feel that BPM offers very few real opportunities to meet someone. Unpaid members are the majority of the so called daily matches they send, but what good is that if you really can't communicate with an unpaid member. Also, each time I was near the end of my subscription BPM would open my profile up to people far outside of the area I personally set in my preferences and bombarded my views with up to 50 or more views per day from men across the country. I feel that was a deceptive move to get me to reconsider not ending my subscription. I got more views in two weeks than the entire time I was on BPM. Overall, although I did meet a couple of men, there were very few real options and I would suggest a site where only paid members who can contact each other are on the site. Otherwise, it's just a picture gallery of men not really interested enough to pay but get accces to your profile for free. 2 stars only because I made one friend that I keep in touch with but he has made it clear " he is not interested in marriage", while I am searching for someone who is, we still communicate as friends. Don't waste your time on BPM if you're seriously looking for a partner...

All 'stock' messages and no originality. I was almost flattered by all of the interest but quickly realized that every guy's comment, message or flirt was the same.

Don't Do It
September 27, 2020

If there are black women looking for a man who is successful, respectful and have decency, this is NOT the site. I cancelled my subscription in July, it's late September and I'm still getting notices from the site. These men are BUMS, disable, creeps and homeless. Don't even bother.

Choices on site
September 17, 2020

On line dating sites can be a good option but Ladies be Careful! Im a professional beautiful healthy minded mid aged black women with my own everything. There are some good guys on here with the same qualities mentioned but take your time because one of first ones i replied to ( handsome, has good job, he is educated / articulate, & claimed he wanted a serious relationship on the website) and exchanged phone numbers ended up being a player and ran games after 3-4 weeks. His conversations & encounters started revolving around sex & attempts for it. After talking on phone for 2-3 weeks and then seeing one another ( spending quality time) for additional 3-4 weeks, he sent a final Very Brief text stating he is ending our dating situation and Ghosted me!

Found my mate
September 2, 2020

After rumbling through a few profiles, one stuck out with a question... Do I work for transit? Lol Talking to him was like having a twin sister, we clicked instantly with our personalities, interests in same things, etc. Sometimes you gotta be patient and the right one will find you.
